New Inn in Doncaster

Ate here on the Saturday evening and were so impressed that we came back for Sunday lunch. Ideally located next to the canal. Food very tasty and definitely value for money. Staff friendly and attentive.

Outstanding views. Under cover outdoor picnic benches. 2nd bar is DOG FRIENDLY! Alan is a top draw barman, the head cooks Kev and Vicky (licencee) will do a steak or gammon exactly as ordered. A special canal side pub worth a visit.

Fantastic food and lovely setting well worth a visit to see the canal world floating past, amazing boats and friendly staff

Went for Christmas menu and the turkey was thin and tasteless, hard frozen sprouts, dry probably frozen roast potatoes which were burnt, hard frozen parsnips, soggy stuffing, under cooked pigs in blankets and the only fresh thing were the carrots which were the best on the plate. No Yorkshire, lacking homemade quality of a Christmas roast which you would expect. Told the Manager who seems uninterested and paid full price for a meal which was far below standard expected. Absolutely would not go back need to do home made fresh food not frozen.

Always made to feel welcome and great food and beer selection in a traditional country pub by the side of the canal.

Fantastic service and excellent customer service the food was excellent.the place was warm and friendly

Superb meal. We moored outside the pub in our narrowboat and had an evening meal Steak and scampi, fully loaded burger 2 desserts and a bottle of Hardys Shiraz. Great quality food, well prepared and a friendly service. Unbelievably good value only £50

Lovely meal with a great choice and friendly and attentive staff and hosts. Great value for money. Would recommend 100%. Thank you 😊

Visited the New Inn with relatives from the South Coast. The man at the bar was helpful and friendly, and the food was excellent. A clean and well laid out pub which was warm and welcoming. Hadnt been for a while but well certainly be back, and soon!

Went for Sunday Lunch to be told it wasn't on. Staff looked unhappy 1 of them had bad body odour. Seemed like all of the work was done by 1 man behind the bar, at re was no Sunday lunch available. We have been before and it was good. Something has gone seriously wrong here.

Poor food, 1 pie, 1 gammon, greasy, tough chewey gammon. Table not clean. Poor tea time experience, won't bother again.

been going here for a good few months this year, recently visited and a couple of their staff are just rude, don't smile, moan about future bookings they are going to have to deal with that day, no customer service when sending food back as it was cold and stale, no apologies just money brought back to your table with no words at all. Won't be visiting again

Mum and I visited the New inn Stainforth on Saturday 14th May 2022. the location is to die for next to the canal, on a hot summers day with customers , some with pets others with children. the food is outstanding. Mum had a chicken curry, loads on the plate tasty food every part hot and delicious, i had a rump steak , cooked to perfection, Medium Rare , the chips that came with were crispy on the outside and Fluffy and light on the inside . Keep up the good work

Had a great visit to the New Inn with our walking group. I chose the pub based on its website - photos looked great - and its location on the canal, perfect spot for a canalside stroll. There was a lot resting on me because we usually finish in a pub and it is often one that one of the group has visited before and recommends. I felt like I was taking a risk by bringing us somewhere we had never been before but it paid off and we had a great visit. Everyone enjoyed their meal, we had a fab view of the waterway and passing narrow boats and the staff were friendly and helpful. Plus the prices were reasonable. The thing that made the New Inn stand out for me though was the fantastic service before we even turned up. I made three calls in total to the pub while planning the walk - provisional booking, confirming numbers then updating numbers based on drop-outs - and each time the person who answered gave great service and was welcoming and friendly. Two different staff members answered my calls and they were both fab. They were also really accommodating. They asked questions that I wouldn't have thought of but that were really useful in planning our visit. For example, whether we would have any dogs with us (it is a dog friendly pub) and whether it would be helpful to have access to the toilets on our arrival (which it most definitely was!). Everyone in the group really appreciated the welcome and it stood out as one of our most welcoming pub trips.

Our table had every starter, the prawn cocktails wer beautifully presented, no complaints. Mushrooms in a garlic blue cheese sauce topped with panko crumb and sour dough bread, no panko on any of them, and looking around the room nobody had panko?? The pate dint taste of anything at all, served with mixed leaf and red onion chutney and bread, No chutney only sliced red onions on top of mixed leaf. Main course Boil in the bag 2 slices of over boiled turkey, frozen pre cooked pig in blanket, frozen stuffing ball, frozen MASH!! Frozen roast potatoes, garden peas, carrots and sprouts, a slimy spiced red cabbage ond very well done roast possibly fried parsnips, topped withtasteless watery gravy to try and hide the mess. Dessert was a festive apple crumble topped with cinnamon which turned out to just be apple pie filling with bought in crumble on top, no cinnamon in site. £50 per head and evety single person said never again, total rubbish. Its a shame because its a beautiful location on the canal bank

We like to eat by the waterside so The New Inn really fits that bill. However the food has to be edible to be enjoyed. We both had the steak pie and both the pies were packed with gristle. When the waitress asked “Are you enjoying your meals?” I told her that the food was really poor quality. No follow up from her or the landlady, who heard the comments. So, inedible food and no interest about why from the staff. This is one meal we will both remember. Unfortunately for all the wrong reasons

We spotted this place and was instantly drawn in by the views. We found a table next to the canal and went inside to order food. The staff were welcoming. The food was hot and decent portions. The only negatives were that the jacket potato doesn't come with any butter so it was a bit dry and we had to ask for more sauces as the pot only came with mayonnaise. I also think it's nice for someone to come over once to check everything is okay but it hasn't put us off. We will definitely return

Where has the atmosphere gone? Had some lovely meals here in the past. Something has changed...a real lack of atmosphere. Really no customer attention at all and nobody seemed to be happy to be there. The food was OK...but not as good as before. The chips were awful and we weren't asked if we wanted desserts. Felt like once we had our food plonked on our table then we were forgotten about. Won't be back. Such a shame.

This place has really taken off in the last couple of months. The food is brilliant, staff are so friendly and the atmosphere is incredible. Haven't seen so many boaters here for a couple of years. Talking to some boaters who braved a visit after the pub got a bad rep with local boat clubs over past year or two, and they really were impressed with the quality of food and excellent level of service. We'll worth a visit, but I'd advise to book for food as it does get busy now. :)

A large group of us visited for a Friday evening meal and were really impressed with the friendly staff and the excellent quality of food. We arrived not long before 8pm, which is when food is meant to stop but were delighted that there was no problem for us to still order and be treated in such a polite and warm way. We weren't intending on staying after our meal, but really enjoyed soaking up the atmosphere as Karaoke and a disco followed later that evening. We will definitely return soon and would recommend a visit to this warm and friendly pub in such beautiful surroundings. Well done to the team at the New Inn - see you soon!D Peters & family

Popped in to the New Inn which had great reviews on Trip Advisor. Great location and friendly staff. Ordered the sunday roast (beef). Pale slices of rubbery beef, large selection of vegetables (majority were tasteless) and a burnt (originally frozen?) yorkshire pudding. Could have been so much better - half the vegetables, cooked properly, some proper yorkshires and a nice piece of beef would have been lovely. Worst roast I have experienced possibly ever.

fantastic pub..wonderful canal side location..great food...well kept ales...great entertainment...friendly staff...new managers Bev and Danny work hard and it is paying dividends...A pub the locals should be proud of

Danny and Bev Hoff (summer 2014)..are the new managers at this great little destination pub/restaurant. There has been a major refurbishment to the inn and this is also been extended to their food offering.This place is a true gem..the location is second to none.You are always made to feel welcome and a valued customer.The quality of the menu is excellent and there is always a great selection of fine beers and spirits on offer.
